After a rocky start, I'm finally engaged in this first fantasy novel of GGK.
Forgotten the neverending background legends and obscure references, the author found his own voice out of the Tolkiensish shadows...

I'm loving this so much... Thank you GKK <3

I'm loving this book like WOOOOHOOOOO!

Back from atrocious exams... 2016, here I am !!! Ready, Steady, Read !

Promising !

I'm not sure I'm liking this book. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not. I hope I can finish it but it is such a repetitive speech that it's mind-numbing. Pity.

My library card expired on the 16th and I can't go and buy a new one until... the 24th. FML.

OMG it's getting so loooong, why oh why.

Still great. I like it when authors know where they are going with their epic fantasy series.

So far, great.

I don't seem to get into this one... I can't tell if it's the writing or the French translation *EPIC SIGH*

So far, very good.

Let me tell you something : the French publishers' policy concerning this series is incredibly chaotic and desserving : different publishers have published several early books BUT NOT ALL (!!!???) and now one publisher seems to have understand the interest of this series and may catch up with the current American publishing. BUT some early books are still unavailable in French. Silly, silly.

It's getting better and better.

AHAH, EXCELLENT ! MERCI AZHUREHEART POUR LA REC !

So far, not too bad, despite all the vegetable. The writing makes it just hard for me to read it seamlessly - yes, I didn't know there was such thing as too much punctuation for my taste !

"His hair is orange-red, the color of an old carrot." I don't know why, but I'm sensing a pattern here...

"I watch the light leave Will's eyes, which are pale green, like celery." Eye colour and vegetable, that's a first for me !

OK so I won't vote on the Goodreads Choice Awards 2014 because I haven't read any of the books nominated so it would be pointless but, seriously, I DID read the two first volumes of The Selection series and arrrgh arrrgh how is it still in the fucking Final Round ??? Or are the other books complete rubbish ? Nevermind.

I have to strenghten my reader resolve to finish this dystopian marshmallow - seriously, people dying AND glittering tiaras ? *hopeless sigh*

Why am I reading this again ? *sigh*

Not as good as Hunger Games or Matched but not as bad as Vampire Diaries (I'm starting to think that it's simply impossible). Selling point : it's only 336 pages in REALLY LARGE PRINT.

can't write an update right now, will get back to you when captivating book finished

Really fun so far.
